The Ukrainian counter-offensive is “not yet in full swing”. Means: We are currently looking for Russian vulnerabilities and trying to find them. “But that will be difficult,” says Eder. A conversation about tactical nuclear weapons, the safety status of the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant and a “highly plausible” assumption about how the Kakhovka Dam could have been destroyed…
“The Russians have prepared the defense well, they had four months for that,” said the brigadier general. In addition, according to Russian media reports, numerous tanks supplied to Ukraine from the West have already been destroyed. “You have to put these numbers in perspective,” says Eder, “It’s true that Ukrainian tanks were hit. But the Russian numbers are definitely too high.” But the fact that Russian troops allegedly captured Leopard and Bradley tanks “will be true.”
Nevertheless, the Ukrainian army is not without success: “In some places they have already been able to advance seven kilometers.” The military strategist then expects the actual large-scale offensive in a few days to weeks.
Tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus “military insignificant”
The fact that Belarus received the first tactical nuclear weapons from Russia does not change the military security situation ‘at all’. Russia would have to endure too many disadvantages for that, for example that China would turn its back on Russia.
Who blew up the dam?
The partial destruction of the Kakhovka dam is something “that helps the Russians more militarily and hinders the Ukrainians”. But the Russians also have disadvantages. There are no facts about who is responsible for the explosion. But what there is, according to Eder, is a “very plausible rumor”.
Details of the rumor, assessments of the effects on the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant and other tangible analysis of the war in Ukraine can be seen in the video above.
